Side Chapter 8.5- Darkness lurking within Orario.

Hey there! It's been a long time hasn't it? Alright, I apologize! I know it took frekin 3 months but there were circumstances on my end so I couldn't help it. I hope you understand! Then, on with it.

A women slept peacefully in a dimly lit room without moving so much of an inch, but she was alive as she was breathing at regular intervals.

It was Revis.

She was drenched in sweat all over her body, writhing once in a while as she was having a bad dream.

She stood in a place somewhere, fighting someone when suddenly she was engulfed in blackish violet light, it's pressure was unbearable, it was like her life was being sucked out…..but at the same time, filling her up with something new, something more powerful.

It was frightening but at the same time it was soothing, something within her told her to accept the new power and that she did.

She could fell her body and her heart, in her case which was her magic stone getting filled with foreign power and getting stronger. The new power was powerful and….it was addictive.

The power took over everything, spreading across her whole body, blocking everything what she was before including her memories and everything she ones was and the new being which was Revis but also not Revis was born.

A new monster was born.

"AAH" She shrieked and opened her eyes, she looked around the room breathing erratically and slowly tried to get up.

Where am I? Who am I? What is this place….Ugh…I can't remember anything….aah and my head hurts so much, it's like it's going to burst.

She sat there clutching her head with her hands trying to remember who she was, when suddenly she felt it, a connection with something, a connection with the power within her. She didn't know why but she wanted to go near it and absorb more of it.

She got up to move towards the direction where she could fell the connection from, but before she could take a step forward she was stopped by a voice.

"Where are you going?" She turned towards the voice and found a man standing there, he had a peculiar mask on so she couldn't see his face.

"Who are you?" Revis asked, raising her guard against the unknown entity.

But rather than what she expected, she was replied with a mildly shocked but carefree voice.

"Oh! Don't tell me, you don't even remember me? I saved you remember? Well, it was originally not me, but my subordinate…um but you are my subordinate as well. Whatever, but you do understand right?"

Revis couldn't understand what the man in front of her was saying.

Saved me? From who? What is he talking about? His subordinate? Me?

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Revis said with an irritated tone.

"Hmm! That's interesting! Have you lost your memory. That make things complicated, All right! How about this? My name is Enyo and I am your master. Does that ring any bells?"

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't remember anybody by that name and what are you talking about being my master…. Ugh… I can't remember anything! What the hell is going on!"

Frustration of not being able to remember anything was building up within Revis, not being able to remember anything, she made up her own conclusions.

Yes! That's it! This guy is just trying to not let me reach the 'source'. If I want to go there I just need to defeat him to get there.'

Frustration of not being able to understand the man's remarks and anger that he was wasting her time and not letting her reach the 'source' led to this conclusion.

"Just get out of my way! I need to reach the 'source' and absorb more power! Why can't you understand that…if so then just DIE!"

She stretched out her hand which was getting wrapped in blackish violet power and released the condensed energy on Enyo.

Enyo who wasn't able to react in time got directly hit by the attack. Not being able to bear the pressure of the abnormal power, his whole body started corroding away and he was turned to dust in seconds.

Revis looked at her hand which just released the attack. She didn't know what type of power she just used but she felt it was natural for her to use it.

Now I just need to reach the 'source' and the-

Her thoughts were cut off as a dart like object pierced the back of her neck.

"….Aa….Ugh…"

Her limbs lost strength and she slumped on the ground but she didn't lose consciousness. She looked up to identify from where the object came from and found a man walking towards her. He also had a peculiar mask on which was different than Enyo.

"Oh my! Call me impressed. That was a poison which could even kill a level 4 monster instantly and you didn't even faint….well, you will in a few minutes anyway."

The man came to a stop few metres before Revis, turned around and went on one knee.

"She is harmless now Enyo-sama. You can come out."

As soon as the man said that, another person came out of the shadow. Revis couldn't help but open her eyes wide when she saw him…because it was the same person she had turned to dust.

"That was certainly scary when she attacked with that abnormal power." Enyo said truly impressed by the power Revis showed.

"….Ho….w..?" Revis tried to ask how he survived, but with the effects of the poison, even opening her mouth was proving difficult.

Nonetheless, Enyo picked up the faint voice.

" Do you want to know how I survived? The answer is simple. That man wasn't even me to begin with. Did you think I would be foolish enough to present myself to someone when we didn't even know if that person was harmless or not? Though I must give my condolences to that brave soul who sacrificed himself for me."

Those were the last words Revis heard before she fainted.

"Hmm. That was a close call, who knew she would lose her memories." Enyo said looking at Revis who laid motionless on the ground.

"Um..Enyo-sama s-should we dispose of her?" The man who was on one knee asked Enyo.

"Why would you even think of that Ein. She has the power which we couldn't even comprehend and didn't you see how she killed him, it will do us more good if she is alive rather than dead."

"But Enyo-sama, we don't know how to control her. She will just attack again when she wakes up!" The man or rather, Ein raised a fair point. It would be better to kill the enemy when it cannot resist rather than when it can.

"Why are you so persistent on killing her…. Don't tell me! Are you afraid that she will become more powerful than you with her newfound power."

"N-Never Enyo-sama! I was just concerned for your safety. I don't care how strong she gets as long as she obeys you and follows your cause." Ein was flustered with Enyo's assessment….maybe because it was a little bit true but nonetheless gave a good reply.

"Haha, is that so?!...um, but it would be great if we could gain more of this power."

"If so Enyo-sama, we could get it from the 21st floor, I think what Revis called 'source' is there, as that was the place where that man and she fought." Ein said that to Enyo but he firmly denied it.

"It isn't that I would not like that but we can't risk that. That old man in the Guild would have definitely noticed by now and he would have definitely started taking countermeasures…..If I know him well."

"Countermeasures?" Ein didn't understand what Enyo meant. Ein did understand which old man Enyo was talking about, that would be the God of the Guild Ouranos. But even he wouldn't have people who were capable enough to supress the rampant power on the 21st floor…. they do!

Understanding dawned on Ein as he came to the same conclusion as Enyo.

"Oh! Did you realise?! That old man isn't the only one who would have noticed….the initiators of the entire thing would also have noticed by now that they screwed up." Enyo stated his conclusion…..and it was true.

"But Enyo-sama, would Ouranos and….the Hestia Familia cooperate?" Ein asked.

"Of course! This would be the best chance for Hestia to hide her mistake and I don't think their captain would be foolish enough to let this chance slide."

There was that thing, that the goddess of the Hestia Familia, Hestia herself didn't know that her familia was responsible for the whole mess or the fact that Ouranos also didn't know who released the strange power in the dungeon…..but nobody was there to point it out to Enyo.

"Well, let's not get greedy for power shall we? We don't want to run into them again for the time being. We should focus on what we do have right now." Enyo looked at Revis as he said that.

"Yes Enyo-sama! Should we start by trying to get her memories back." Ein said noticing Enyo's gaze.

"Yes, that would be good. After all, the power she posses could become a great factor in achieving my dream."

After two days,

As Enyo predicted, Hestia Familia did accept Ouranos's request without knowing that a peculiar situation and an fateful encounter was awaiting for them.

Okay! I know it was short but that's what side chapters are supposed to be...right? I just thought that I should write about what happened to Revis after she was 'rescued' and this chapter also gave a little bit of info about what those mutated monsters are and about what kind of power they use( you know whose power ).

Plzzzz leave reviews!
